Dear Friends,
I am contratcting the basic design for a complete relief system, including Flare Stack and Knock Out vessel. The engineering company bring to discussion if we would need any fire preventing system (sprinkles; etc.) for KO vessel and near the stack bottom in order to avoid fire in case of fire rains (our processes could relief latex together with the gas and it could eventually reach the flare tip. As a matter of fact, it already has occured in a similar plant).
Is there any recommendation (API; NFPA; etc.) that could help me to specify what kind (if there have to be any) of fire protection system should we have to have in our flare area?
Thanks in advance,
LCMS.
